THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS.  Yaum Al-Khamis. 7th day of Sha’abaan. (Thursday, 10th of March, 2022). RAMADHAN APPROACHING. ARE YOU PREPARING?  BismilLah. 

Ramadhan is an incredible opportunity that we shouldn’t lose out on. It is a month full of enormous spiritual wealth and reward. However, many of us often suffer from a lack of productivity during Ramadhan and not making the most of the special blessed month.  With Ramadhan starting soon in shaa ALLAH, let's strive to welcome it with piety and sincerity hoping to gain more rewards and forgiveness from it. 

If you still owe any days on last year's Ramadhan please fast for it before this one arrive but if for some reason you can't fast, try to fast as much as you can this year and start paying for missed days after this Ramadhan. For those who can't fast at all due to old age and permanent illness, please feed the poor each day with full meal or give the equivalent amount that can feed the poor all day to cover each day of fasting. 

The key to a productive Ramadhan is to prepare for it well in advance. ALLAH subhanahu wa ta`alaa (exalted is HE) encouraged us to fast and do extra good deeds during the months of Rajab and Sha`baan as a means of preparing ourselves for Ramadhan. Rajab and Sha`baan can be considered the months of sowing, while Ramadhan is the month of reaping. I hope many are fasting on Mondays and Thursdays, I mean today. Please don't miss fast on the 3 white days of Sha’abaan next week. By doing this, you will ease your way into Ramadhan and be able to perform those extra `ibadaat (acts of worship) during Ramadhan in shaa ALLAH. 

We ask ALLAH to aid us in our efforts to please HIM. Aameen.
